Rene Ricard Goes Quack Quack Here

Luke’s Farm Media brings us the first episode of "Uncle Rene" and gives us an inside look at life in the Hotel Chelsea.  Click here to play the video. The fabulous Rene Ricard, for those of you who are way out of the loop, starred in a couple of Warhol flicks back in the day. The internet, it’s where everybody gets their second 15 minutes of fame.
